I dont actually have very long hair at all. In fact, I've always kept it trim and rather short, but now I'm wanting to take a different approach to my grooming. I am all about the neat look, and I very much hate frizzed out untamed curly crap flopping about. But as it were, this is how my hair gets after Its grown a bit. My objective is to grow my hair out mainly so I can give it the messy spiked look (spiked up, but no clear design of the spikes... just pointed in all different directions) but I want the sides to look neat and trimmed.
I also have side burns which frizz out and curl making it look like some sort of crazed tuft of hair extending down the side of my face. Now, I've already come up with a few of my own solutions to accomplishing what I want to accomplish but I need some input.
I could trim the sides and leave the top all alone, but is that going to look balanced? Will it be weird if I have long hair on top and short hair on the sides?
Products. There has to be some sort of anti frizz gel or a particulair shampoo I can use? I like the top to be curly, but just not the sides. And just how expensive is it?
Thanks in advance.
Honestly, I think it would look weird. I've seen that kind of haircut before, where it's trimmed short on the sides and long on the top, and it's just sort of an odd look. You might be able to pull it off, but I haven't really seen anybody with that style really looked good. But maybe I don't really know what you're talking about.
In the early 1800's, there was a youth mouvement called "Les Incroyables", which had its own fashions, and hairstyles.
As a lot of people love to say that my long hair has been done before... I tend to say that their hair has been done at one time as well...
Over the weekend I visited local museums in Montreal with the Free Museums Day last Sunday, and visited a history museum with an exhibit on the 18th and 19th century. I saw a bust of a local political figure, and he was depicted as wearing a kind of "fawhawk" type hairdoo.
See... Nothing new under the sun... Long hair is timeless but silly do's come and go.
Have a nice day,

Not too long of course, but I've always loved this hairstyle and will probably return to it someday.
Is this what you mean?
(He's Morrissey, also the lead singer of the 80's band The Smith, in case you don't know)
Morrissey Rules!. I love all that whining and melancholy.
No, its not exactly what I'm shooting for. I'm looking for a more modern approach, in the sense that my hair will be heavily choked in gel allowing for my hair to spike in random directions. The issue for me is, is for me to be able to have my hair at a decent length, my sideburns and the sides begin to grow into a sort of untamed look which I do not like at all.
Like the guy from Static-X? (couldn't attach a picture at the moment for some reason, check out google images, if you don't know who I mean)
Why don't you just grow your hair and see what happens?
The great thing about hair growing is that it changes from month to month. If your hair is unruly after a few months of not cutting, it may appear or be very very different after 1, 2, 3, 4 years etc.
Am I getting warmer?
He's a great find, Dean. Most people can do that look if hanging upside down but he got enough gunk in his hair to make it really happen. That is a fun look and I'm glad he takes the time to make that.
